It's like any other change on your car. Moving a camber link position by 2mm can make a big difference to how it handles. That same difference on a full sized car would be 2cm
The air doesn't exactly scale like that but the wing makes a massive difference. This weekend I had terrible understeer at high speed with the 4wd, I went from 5mm or so of gurney to almost none and it was like a different car to drive. Not just at the end if the straight but in the infield too.
